Amazon Expert Reviewer (beginning excerpt 2009):

“Wow! This is an exceptional excerpt. The writing is good, and the plot is gripping and immediately interesting.”

Publishers Weekly (second draft of book 2009):

“The prose is decent line-to-line, and issues of race and identity are nicely handled.”

 

Michael Dolan McCarthy is a novel.

“I should have been the first one home.”

Instead, Michael Dolan McCarthy, a boy named for a father he barely remembers and a grandfather he’s never known, watches his little sister Missy enter their apartment while he flirts with Shenia.

“Then Shenia’s cell jingled its pretty little tune.”

It’s a frightened Missy. She tells Michael their mother is “gone, like Betsy.” Michael starts running.

 

Sheri McGuinn’s first published novel, Running Away, won an Honorable Mention in the Writer’s Digest 2008 International Self-Published Book Awards. The second draft of Michael Dolan McCarthy made it to the Quarter-Finals of the 2009 Amazon Breakout Novel Awards. The review it received from Publishers Weekly offered praise and criticism that were utilized in the revision of the manuscript.
